What Obama forgot to mention: Workers making $30,000 will take a bigger hit on their pay than those earning $500,000 under new fiscal deal

Middle-class
workers will take a bigger hit to their income proportionately than those
earning between $200,000 and $500,000 under the new fiscal cliff deal,
according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

Earners in
the latter group will pay an average 1.3 percent more - or an additional $2,711
- in taxes this year, while workers making between $30,000 and $200,000 will
see their paychecks shrink by as much as 1.7 percent - or up to $1,784 - the
D.C.-based think tank reported.

Overall,
nearly 80 percent of households will pay more money to the federal government
as a result of the fiscal cliff deal.
